Agreed - brevity is because we're busy and we want to save the time of
our busy colleagues, so it's worth telling newcomers that it's not
harshness.

I'm also known for being too brief/concise. As Bertrand stated, my goal
is efficiency given so much email to wade through; however, I also
realize it can lead to misunderstandings. Lately I've been adding a
sincere "If that page/post doesn't help, please be sure to post back to
this list!"
Documenting that brevity should not be taken as harshness is a great
idea and I'll go update http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_mail.html --
but that also assumes the reader has found the page with that wording.
